“My approach is based on pro-actively resolving claims and disputes while seeking the best possible commercial outcome for my clients."   

“I specialise in commercial insurance disputes and have acted for insurers in relation to claims brought in jurisdictions across the world, including Europe, the Americas, South Africa, and Asia Pacific.  

I have a good understanding of how insurers operate commercially and what they need from their panel lawyers, having previously been seconded to the financial lines team of a global insurance company. I also have experience of defending corporate policyholders in complex litigation, so I understand the concerns and considerations of policyholders when faced with costly claims, including the often sensitive interchange between policyholder and insurer.

My approach is based on pro-actively resolving claims and disputes while seeking the best possible commercial outcome for my clients."
